~ The Hon. Thomas Dudley, Of New
Jersey, in recent address before the
National Farmers Congress, held in Chi
cago, tried to explain how protection protect
ed the American farmer. He claimed that
India wheat could be sold in London at 70
cents bushel and in New York at rs cents
without duty, and with duty added, could be
laid down in New York at 95 cents bushel.
he, however, failed to explain why, at the
present time, American wheat was only
worth s01< cents per busheI laid down at the
same place, with the great protection which
he claims is such an advantage to the Ameri-
can farmer. He does not explain why pro-
lection does not make the American wheat
worth 95 cents when the same protection
makes India wheat worth that amount de-
livered. New Jersey is manufacturing and
not an agricultural State, and the honorable
gentleman is, likely, more interested in
manufacturing than agricultural interests,
and as long as he can make the agriculturist
believe that he is the best protected man on
earth he can, himself, reap the benefit, as the
highest rate of protection is on the manu-
factured production and not the agricultural
products. We do not claim to be thoroughly
posted on the tariff question, but what is
plain to the ordinary individual comes under
our comprehension. We would be in favor
of protection if it would protect all alike, but
when it comes to protect one branch of
industry to the detriment of another, we are
not in favor of such protection.

81 Colonel G.. H. Cook, New York
raveling man, said to an Indianapolis
Sentinel reporter the other night: "Nearly
all business has greatly improved and trade
on the road can now be said to be very good.
The principal reason for the improvement is,
in my opinion, the constantly growing con-
fidence in the administration. Everybody
has great faith in the present policy, and
think business men will be very 10th to vote
for change. 1t looks to me as if the stanch
business men of the country will be almost
President Cleveland in 1885," That's the
honest truth.

sB Murat Halstead, of the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazettee, recently telegraphed
to Whitelaw Reid, of the New York Tribune,
as follows: "Will Rerublicans of New York
kindly take notice that the Republicans of
Ohio (under my leadership speak right out
on the great public questions? And we are
rewarded for our direct methods in stamp
ing out the (Republican) mugwumps, and we
have comparatively few prohibitionists. The
way to hold the line of battle is to edge them
with fire. And when the solid South (that
great political bugbear) unfurls the broad
banner of the Confederate bloody-shirt, we
do not think it wicked to put up the Old Flag
and turn loose the bird of glory" And this
is the same great Republican statesman who
in the darkest hour of the great Civil War
wrote to Salmon P. Chase, Secretary of the
Treasury, as follows: sour noble Army of
the Mississippi is being wasted by the
foolish, drunken. and stupid Grant. He
can't organize. or control, or fight an army.
I have no personal feeling about it, but
know he is an ass. The Presidents (Lincoln)
| weak, pulling, piddling, humanitsrianism is
death and hell to the army. Can't you take
him (Lincoln) by the throat and knock his
head against a wall until he is brought to his
senses on the war business? I do not speak
wantonly when say there are persons who
would feel that they were doing God service
! to kill him, if it were not feared that Hamlin
(Vice- -Prsident) is bigger fool than he is.-
And yet the pitiful Congress (two-thirds

Ey- Don. M. Dickinson's appointment to
scene in the Grand Rapids State Convention
last year. The chaplain in his prayer men,
toned Jefferson, Tilden and other noted
statesmen, but, purposely or otherwise,
neglected to mention Mr.. Cleveland. When
the Chaplain had finished, MIR. Dickinson
arose and, with head erect and flashing eyes,
called attention to the omission. He, with
uplifted hands and solemn voice, said;
"God bless and save and keep that Democrat
of Democrats, the noblest of them all, Grover
Cleveland, President of the United States. )"
Such courage and unctious zeal very natural
ly earned for Mr.. Dickinson the title OF
Administration Chaplain.

The Heinous Sin OF cider Making

The Heinous Sin OF Cider Making.
There is q prospect that in Maine the
farmers may unite with the anti -Prohibi-
tionists Of the cities to overthrow the prohi-
bition code, and this coalition is likely to
come about in a very natural way, as a ques-
tion Of dollars and cents is involved in the
sale of farm products. The Maine system Of
prohibition at first inside distinction in
favor Of malt liquors, but gradually as "the
idea" advanced they were put on the same
footingas spirits. This only left cider as q
free beverage with a perceptible taint of
alchchol. Too much hard cider is very de-
moralizing, and adulterated with whisky
degenerates into the potent beverage known
as ''stone fence" At the last session Of the
Maine legislature the grand feat was accom-
plished Of placing sweet cider on the list Of
prohibited liquids and by legal enactment it
was declared an intoxicating liquor. No
distinction was made between new cider and
hard cider, but the pure, sweet apple juice,
as it dripped from the cider mill, was made
Illegal to have, possess, sell, or store for sale
in the possession of liquor dealer. hotel
proprietor, or even the farmer who raised the
apples and who made the cider. 1t so hap
pens that this year the apple crop of Maine
is the only one of much value, and the cider
mills were put in early operation, but to the
CONSERVATION of the farmers they were
stopped at once by the order of the liquor
const ables. Scores of good, staunch Prohi-
bitionists, as to malt and spirituous liquors
were dragged away from their farms to
answer for the violation of the cider law
They were placed on the same footing as the
liquor dealers, and operations of the pro-
hibitory code are described by an Augusta
correspondent as of very sweeping charac-
ter. It is stated:
The penalties are the same, and the law
knows no difference between a gallon of
whisky or brandy and gallon of sweet cider
fresh from the cider-press. By most sur
prising legal machination farmer who is
detected in selling one glass of sweet cider is
liable for no less than five distinct offenses.
In other words, the same set of facts is used
over and over again to convict on five diff
ferent charges, with a possible combined
punishment of five months imprisonment in
the county Jail and an accumulated fine of
1850.
The farmers are discussing the cider law in
their oranges and town meetings, and MEM
bers of the Legislature will be elected next
year on the pledge to repeal the law, but the
anti -Prohibitionists will do nothing to help
the farmer unless he agrees to aid in wiping
out the whole prohibition code. This is not
a pleasing prospect, as majority of the
farmers are temperance men, and the pros
pect of combining with the rum element is
not pleasing. They must do so, however, or
let their valuable orchards go to ruin. The
liquor men enjoy the dilemma and are doing
everything to bring about coalition with
the grangers.

sEr A Mrs. Grant was in the rear car with
her husband. It is she who related the
pathetic tale to follow. There were six young
people in the same car, and Mrs. Grant and
her husband gave up their seats so that the
party of six could get seats close together
Among the six were young groom and his
beautiful bride. They took the seat vacated
by Mr.. and Mrs. Grant, who sought one in a
remote corner of the car. After setting
down in her place, Mrs. Grant covered her
face with her handkerchief. trying to seek
sleep. All was quiet throughout the car
except the merry party of six. After awhile
the young bride was requested to sing
'Nearer. My God to Thee" She complied
and all listened as the train sped on.
AS the little glow of fire appeared far down
the track the voices of the little group
swelled in.
''Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, my God, to Thee"
The speed of the train increased down the
grade. Again the song swelled:
'There let the way appear, steps unto heaven"
The way was already in sight!
"AIl that thou sendest me, in mercy given"
And then, with but moment of life left to
each of them, even when the poor, brave
engineers hand was giving its last desperate
wrench to the throttle of his engine, the
singers sang to their God, who seemed not to
